Together with its partners in the Culture Helps Solidarity programme, the European Cultural Foundation (ECF) presents a special screening of Militantropos (2025).

The screening will be followed by a conversation with representatives of two Ukrainian organisations supported by the programme: Insha Osvita and the VETERANKA Movement. The discussion will center on the role of arts, culture, and cultural cooperation in sustaining resilience and community connection during and after the war in Ukraine.

About the speakers
Insha Osvita is a non-governmental organisation that develops educational programmes, works with culture and art as forms of collective learning, and creates both mental and physical learning spaces.

Joining online on behalf of the movement is Maksym Nakonechnyi, scriptwriter and co-founder of the production company behind "Militantropos”. The VETERANKA Movement is a community founded by women veterans that supports women in the military, advocates for their rights within the security and defence forces, and assists women veterans in their return to civilian life. 

Culture Helps Solidarity empowers Ukrainian arts and cultural professionals to sustain creativity, resilience, and community connection during and after the war. Since 2014 millions of Ukrainians have faced displacement and loss. Cultural professionals—artists, curators, museum workers, and educators—have become key agents of care, resilience, and social cohesion. Culture Helps Solidarity builds on this spirit, strengthening their capacity to continue this vital work within Ukraine and across Europe.
